woah, I thought I was the only one. Love Black Hole, amazing model work, and well a very dark ending (specially for a disney film). And yeah Tron is amazing, still prefer the first one, if only for Wendy Carlos amazing score.

I AM BABY GROOT

I'm not generally one for rewatching things, but an exception to that is the movie Pretty Woman. I don't know why, but it has always made me happy. Any time it is on, no matter where I start watching it, I will watch to the end. Another is Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion (which ironically references Pretty Woman). There are a few others that escape me right now, but those two are definite rewatches.

Pop!

This is kind of a difficult question for me. If I enjoy a film I tend to watch it multiple times. For example, just using films that were released this year, I've already watched Deadpool 2 and The Death of Stalin three times, and Isle of Dogs four or five times. When a film speaks to me in some way I have a tendency to obsess over it.

So in order to actually answer this thread, I'm going to concentrate less on the letter of what you're asking and instead focus on the intent, which I think is that you're asking for “comfort films." That is, films that aren't necessarily what you'd consider the best films, rather the ones that are easy to watch and feel like a pair of comfy slippers. With that in mind...

To Kill a Mockingbird

Raiders of the Lost Ark

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Deadpool

Big

Contact

Grease

There are probably others, those are just the ones that immediately occur to me.

I did watch Pretty Woman a lot of times too (and will do in the future) because for me its an example of a perfect movie.
Story is ok, casting is phenomenal, the timing was perfect and so on. That is not to say its one of the best movies ever made, it just ... fits.
Also i think its a fairy tale. Not to be read like Brothers Grim but to be watched. A modern fairytale in our time for our time. And we all love fairytales

I could go on, but lets stop here.

My list shares a lot of the titles here, but I don't think anyone has mentioned one that hooks me over and over: House of Games.

Actually just about any decently made con-game/insanely-clever-scheme-move-not-starring-Tom-Cruise will hold my attention, but there's something so dark and creepy about House of Games that it's mesmerizing. Plus, Joe Mantegna!
